Yes, he did go. How cool is that. Honestly, he could have found a reason to back out but he manned up and went. Kudos, Justin. Granted, I am not a huge fan of the music or the acting but I got more respect for ya now. Give me an OOHRAH! Actually, I hope there was a dance-off or something. I’d like to see Timberlake get all jiggy with a bunch of Marines.

From the Washington Post:

PDATE, Monday a.m.: On his blog this morning, Timberlake called the gala “one of the most moving evenings I’ve ever had,” praising the humbleness and awesomeness of the folks in uniform. Especially De Santis, who made an effort to make sure he was enjoying himself. “I have to tell you, it’s not every day that I meet a 23 year old girl and she’s more worried about if I’m having fun or if I’m comfortable! It hit me all of a sudden that these were the type of people that look after us and our freedom… Humble, concerned for others before themselves… This was the type of person our Marine Corps was building. I was really blown away.” Read more.
